Malaria elimination and mass drug administration

Series
Malaria
Embed
Dr Tom Peto from MORU (Mahidol Oxford Research Unit) in Bangkok, Thailand, tells us how mass drug administration can help eliminate malaria
Although malaria has greatly declined in Southeast Asia this century, treating clinical cases won’t be sufficient to eliminate it from the region. Mass drug administration allows to eliminate parasites from asymptomatic carriers, and careful engagement with whole communities is key.

Primaquine for vivax and falciparum malaria

Series
Malaria
Embed
Dr Bob Taylor from MORU (Mahidol Oxford Research Unit) in Bangkok, Thailand, tells us about his research on malaria, and how we can use primaquine to treat vivax malaria and prevent the transmission of falciparum malaria
Primaquine can be used both to treat vivax malaria and to prevent the transmission of falciparum malaria from human to mosquito. A shorter and age-based primaquine regimen would reduce the burden of vivax malaria. It would also allow primaquine to be used more widely to block the transmission of falciparum malaria.

Europe, Migration and Cities

Series
Kellogg College
Embed
Convened by: Kellogg Urban Knowledge Exchange. A multidisciplinary seminar, as part of the Kellogg Urban Knowledge Exchange series in association with Maison Française Oxford.
What opportunities and challenges lie ahead for migrants, settlers and cities in Europe?

Debates, arguments and shifting boundaries have generated a new landscape for migration and mobility, particularly across Europe in recent years. We have asked leading voices from all sides of the current European contexts to share their views on the opportunities and challenges ahead for a changing Europe, and fluctuating global circumstances, at public debate.
Chaired by Sarah Spencer, COMPAS Director of Strategy and Senior Fellow, University of Oxford, with Phoebe Clay, Institute for Public Policy Research and Michael Keith, Centre Director, COMPAS, University of Oxford

2019 Maurice Lubbock Lecture: Engineering at the crossroads: Lessons from History and a 21st-Century Vision from Across the Channel

Series
Department of Engineering Science Lectures
Embed
Where is engineering going? Revolutions in knowledge, new challenges such as those raised by the digital revolution and the environmental crisis call for innovation in engineering education and professional practice.
This is not the first time that engineering has had to adapt. Given jointly by Sophie Mougard and Antoine Picon, the lecture will begin by placing the current turning point within the broader history of the evolution of engineering. Following this generic introduction, the presenters will focus on the École nationale des ponts et chaussées, the oldest civil engineering school in the world, and on its initiatives to address present-day issues. How do we train future engineers in a world in which their role, responsibilities and status are rapidly evolving? No definitive answers can be given to such questions, but the case of the École des Ponts et Chaussées may have some pointers which are valid for engineering education everywhere.
